Editing Birdwatching (section)

==Networking and organization==
Prominent national and continental organizations concerned with birding include the [[British Trust for Ornithology]] and [[Royal Society for the Protection of Birds]] in the United Kingdom, and the [[American Birding Association]] and the [[Cornell Lab of Ornithology]] in North America. Many statewide or local Audubon organizations are also active in the United States, as are many provincial and local organizations in Canada. [[BirdLife International]] is an important global alliance of bird conservation organizations. Many countries and smaller regions (states/provinces) have "rarities committees" to check, accept or reject reports of rare birds made by birders.
